Moreover, Shao Zhongxi had many people in this town.

“If you don’t have any objections, then I’ll arrange for Yu Mumu to stay here. Coincidentally, there’s a bunk at the back ready for you.” Shopkeeper Qiao said with a smile.

Although there were many rooms in this shop, not everyone who was hired could have a room. Many people shared a room.

Xue Sifu knew that there was another room that Shopkeeper Qiao mentioned. It was the room that the men shared. Even if this girl was dressed as a man, she was still a girl in the end. No matter what, he could not let her stay in that room.

Xue Sifu smiled and said, “It’s too far away from me. It’s difficult for me to ask her to do anything if I need help. Why don’t we let her stay on the second floor too? There are many empty rooms on the second floor.”

Hearing this, Princess Jin’s smile widened. It seems that this man knew she was a girl.

“Yes.” Shopkeeper Qiao agreed. “Yu Mumu, from now on, you’ll stay in the room opposite the Xue Sifu on the second floor. That way, it’ll be convenient for him to call you.”

“Alright, I’ll pack. Thank you.” Princess Jin quickly thanked both of them.

“If it’s possible, then you can go back and get your things to move in now.” Shopkeeper Qiao said with a smile.

“Alright.”

Seeing Princess Jin leave, Xue Sifu chatted with Shopkeeper Qiao for a while more. They were talking about buying a new shop. As for Princess Jin being a woman and her skills… Xue Sifu didn’t mention a single word.

When they were done chatting, Xue Sifu went upstairs and wrote a note in his room. He then pa.s.sed the note to his cousin Sun Zhuangzhuang and whispered to his cousin, “Send this to Quanping Inn. Give it to the shopkeeper there. Tell him it’s for Xue Ya. That person will send it over. Go through the back door. Don’t tell anyone about what 1 told you to do.”

The note only said that a girl dressed as a man had come to the shop and seemed very suspicious. He asked Xue Yan not to come to town for the time being and sent someone to investigate this girl.

Sun Zhuangzhuang had always listened to Xue Sifu. When he heard Xue Sifu’s instructions, he immediately agreed and did as he was told.

When the manager of Quanping Inn received the note, he did not dare to open it and only sent someone to Locust Village.

Not long after Sun Zhuangzhuang returned from Quanping Inn, Princess Jin checked out of her room in the inn and came with her packed bags. She stayed in the room opposite Xue Sifu on the second floor of the shop.

Although the room was simple and crude, it was still well-equipped.

It was much better than the room she had been staying in ever since she came to Xinyuan County.

Now that she had been hired, she was to serve by Xue Sifu’s side. So once she put down her baggage, she changed into the servant clothes that Shopkeeper Qiao had given her. Then, she came out of the room and saw that the door opposite was closed. She didn’t want to stand around, so she squatted at the side of the door opposite and waited for Xue Sifu to call her.

After Xue Sifu asked his cousin to deliver the note, he looked at the account book that Shopkeeper Qiao had calculated. After reading it, he felt a little thirsty. He picked up the teapot at the side and wanted to pour himself a cup of water, but the teapot was empty. There was not a drop of water, so he stood up and picked up the teapot to go downstairs to make a pot of tea.

However, the moment he opened the door, he saw Princess Jin squatting at the side. She was dressed in servant’s clothes, and she looked even smaller when she squatted like this. She immediately stood up when she saw him open the door.

Xue Sifu seemed to have just remembered that he already had a servant now. He shook his head and pa.s.sed the teapot in his hand to her. “Go and brew me a pot of tea..”
